About Me

I'm proud to be a working mom, with two terrific kids (ages 8 and 11). I got my Ph.D. in applied psychology back in 2000. We moved to upstate NY from Philadelphia in 2006, and I'm now working as a researcher at SUNY Upstate Medical University. I'm a knee-jerk liberal, though I grew up in very red-state Arizona. I'm passionate about movies and politics. Sadly, I've now spent over a DECADE eating gluten-free, so I'm always on the lookout for great gluten-free foods.

Oops

The drive down to NJ was quite painless. The kids were great. The limo was early, but we weren't able to take advantage, since we needed the time to get the kids settled and sort out the luggage. I did very well with the packing, and I was really proud that I just had two small suitcases. But I made a weird, and rather substantial mistake - when I unpacked at the hotel, I realized that I had left my main makeup bag at home. I had my regular makeup, but the other bag had my face cleanser and moisturizer and all my medications. Frustrating not to have it, but I managed fine, mostly because I keep so much stuff in my everyday purse (which I call The Everything Bag for obvious reasons).
